The low murmur of the café feels distant, drowned out by the razor-sharp tension coiling between us. I lean back, the ice in my glass clinking as I hold your gaze—steady, unyielding.

The silence stretches, heavy with the specter of a marriage contract neither of us signed and the fragile, desperate alliance we’re about to forge.
